If you've ever recorded a song, at home and had little to no knowledge of microphone placement and sound equipment, you will probably feel like I'm 15 years ago when I started to record music. You can make a great sounding cd at home without a big budget to produce it.
First, support your host platform is a difference when recording a song at home. I'm not saying that you should have thousands of dollars worth of equipment, but you should have aDecent recorder. If you do not do that recorder prices are cheaper than ever.
You might ask, what is the best platform, if I do not already have a recorder or little 4 Length? That is totally distorted, so you may want to ask the people at your local music shop as well, but I use computer-based recording software. ProTools is actually my personal favorite. I will explain later in the article.
Once you are on your recorder, or if you already have the recorder, here are a few tipsto achieve a great sound from your recording.
Mic Placement
Your microphone should be strategically positioned to make the most out of your recording. For example, if you were an acoustic guitar, first recording, with the help of a capacitor "shotgun" microphone or two, or a combination of shotgun + pick the guitar or even 2 Shotgun Mics + pickup. The microphone or microphone should be placed about 5 "from the guitar, and there are a number of internships for the microphone orMicrophones. If you have two microphones, my favorite position is both a target and microphones at the sound hole at about a 45 degree angle. The microphones should be about 4 "of the guitar and should have about 1-2" clearance between them. A microphone should be tilted left and tilted to the right for the right attitude.
There are a number of opportunities to take up electric guitar. The first way is by placing a microphone in front of your loudspeakers. If you do this, there are also a number of internships forthe microphone. First, you can use the mic 1 speaker dead center with about 1 "of clearance from the microphone to place the cabinet. This is the easiest mic placement is. The next possibility is the microphone approximately 2-3" from the middle in front ok putting them on the loudspeaker. This is also a simple strategy and takes over the bottom of your cabinet. My music styles are rock and metal so if this is what you shoot, the next internship for you. I'm going to actually angle the mic down to about 45Degrees and place it in the outer left or right upper corner of the top speaker. This will help you get the most out of your amp.
The other method of recording the electric guitar is ins through the use of line. In the event that you will not like this entry, rather hum or electrical interference that can get difficult to remove. But if you have a good amp modeler and effects, you can mitigate and make a good recording, without actually using your amplifier.
WhenThese microphone positions of the drums, it's pretty cut and dry. You should see the microphones, as you would place in a live environment. That means putting on a good mic drums, the bass drum microphone into the bass drum, put a microphone on your snare and toms. The microphones will pick pool without any problems, so you can focus on placing microphones on the drums.
Even if the bass recording, it is recommended that the microphone directly into the speaker from the middle to the lower left squareor right. This also helps to reproduce the lower end of the speaker in the recording.
Last, vocals are the most important part of the recording process. You should first of all a good cabinet and a condenser microphone, or you will get a lot of environmental noise. First cabinet only a modest amount of clothing in it have. The clothing is in reality a lot of foam sound works in the studio and kill the atmosphere in the room. You'll sound a lot different when you record in a roomas well. If this is not an option for you, there are microphones available that kill the surrounding noise, without studio-quality, but they cost about $ 250.
